Yep. They do it the right way. They represent everything Indiana used to be.

I'm torn between them not coming back because of incompetence or because they don't want too.

He was right. We are more serious about football now.

I'm not a Purdue fan. But I do admire what they have built.

Oh, I'm not a Purdue fan. It's an indictment on Indiana University. It took true incompetence on their leadership that continues to this today, for this to happen. And I don't think Purdue is looking back. You can't just become what you once were again. Just ask Nebraska football.

Keep telling yourself that. Indiana had 30 years to get their act together before Purdue finally put it together.

This is the premier program in the state and big ten doing work.

This is it! It should not be this hard. It's mind boggling how inept this university is.

I wonder who the anonymous coach was who said that the last 30 years hasn't had much blue in that blood?

Older article but it's pretty spot on. https://theathletic.com/5196697/2024/01/16/purdue-indiana-basketball-zach-edey/

This sure sounds like what Indiana basketball used to be.

I don't think Indiiana really knows what to do. I guess they are hoping Woodson makes the tourney next year and retires. It's been so long since they have had a non dysfunctional program(including the last several years of Knight)that they don't even know what to look for or what it looks like.

Purdue always has guys over 7 feet tall. They just signed a 7'3 player. It seems to really work for them.

Gas station version of Shaq has no chance. Purdue did it the right way, I give them credit. A bunch of Indiana Boys and a 7 foot center nobody wanted. Painter is a heck of a scout and coach.

We have got to get a coach who doesn't have to rely on them just to be competitive.

Purdue doesn't have ONE McDonalds all American. Not one.

We need to start recruiting more 3 and 4 year guys going forward. Build a team, a program, a culture. Stop chasing 5 star one and done players. If one wants to come fine.

Yes they are. You're just blind from your Fandom, which is understandable. Purdue is THE program in the entire Big Ten now. Indiana is a has been that needs two NBA players just to make the tourney now and then.

At least the big ten will finally win it all now. Having said that, every person who is responsible for our embarrassing program should be forced to attend the final four wearing purdue gear.

Hopefully this rubs Indiana's nose in its own incompetence and they take things seriously. But I doubt it.

They have a program and culture. We don't.

I'm afraid this is the year. They have a fine program. Hopefully, Indiana will stop playing politics and games and get serious about its basketball program.

It's interesting

Is this two elite eights in 5 years?
